Charlie Sheen says he fooled fans into thinking he'd wed porn star girlfriend Brett Rossi by posting a cryptic message on Twitter.
The US actor posted a photo of himself posing with Rossi on the steps of the French consulate in Reykjavik, Iceland, where they have been holidaying, and accompanied it with wedding news.
He wrote: "This is the house ware (sic) M Gorbachev R Reagan did some epic (sic). It's also where S and I GOT MARRIED!"
But Sheen says the tweet was a "joke" directed at ex-wife Denise Richards.
"I wanted to give Denise a stroke" the 48-year-old actor told TMZ.
